Here is the extreme story of the indestructible LA group from their early funk days to eventual success as one of Americas top-selling bands. Despite an epic reputation for exhibitionism; drug taking and debauchery; through it all the Chili Peppers have continued to produce records that shock; challenge and intrigue their fans. Author Jeff Apter has interviewed dozens of people - many speaking openly for the first time - who have moved in and out of the Chili Peppers circle over the past three decades. He has spoken with former Chili Peppers; life-long friends; classmates; family members; album producers and music business insiders; as he plots the bands rise from Hollywood latchkey kids; willing to test-drive any drug or woman they could score; to the camomile-tea sipping superstars of today; whose only true family is this band.

What impressed me is that it is very practical and to the point. Illustrations are used effectively to make points.He emphasizes that you need to understand the sport you are covering in order to be able to anticipate what might happen next.He deals with the challenges of fast action. low light. and the fact that amateur photographers may not have sideline access the way professional photographers do.Its also worth remembering that when you are taking distant shots with zooms lenses. and are likely to do a lot of cropping. having many megapixels does make a difference - a point too often underestimated.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
